Far away in the north of the Dark Valley, Ned, in the form of a bird, was rapidly approaching his target, shortening the distance with incredible speed.
His bird-like heart was beating with a rapid rhythm, and he couldn’t wait for the mont when he finally reached his goal.
Suddenly, Ned felt like he had overco an invisible thin barrier and entered a strange area. Instead of panicking, he felt a surge of strength and excitent.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
In less than a few seconds, nurous black spears rained down on him from below. Having dodged them, Ned, instead of running, dived down directly at his opponents.
Halfway to earth, Ned transford and appeared in the form of his master Idan. He had a wide, crazy smile on his face when he saw his enemies.
They were gold and platinum ranked creatures, all won from the Womskinner race with long black hair and mysterious inscriptions on their bodies.
Transford into an Alpha of Fire, Ned, engulfed in flas, crashed into the ground with great speed and force right in the center of the crowd, causing a powerful explosion.
The force of the explosion and the abundance of flas released by Ned caused the gold-ranked creatures to burn up, while the platinum-ranked creatures suffered serious injuries.
While the won were trying to recover from their injuries, ten lights flashed in the center of the crater, and then fiery blades flew out from there, which rushed at lightning speed towards the seriously injured, piercing them and taking their lives.
Ned’s insane laughter ca from the crater:
"Ha ha ha ha ha."
He stood with his arms wide open, covering a large area with his soul power, controlling the fiery blades and killing all these creatures.
Ned felt a lot of pressure. As soon as he entered this area, his connection with his master was cut off. Now his master could not recall him, as he had done until now. Ned understood that the opponents had prepared for their arrival and would not be limited to just this crowd of weak creatures.
Soon, a powerful pressure descended on him, which tried to pin him to the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha, — Ned laughed, laughing even louder.
After glancing at the woman with long black hair, snow-white skin, and elegant black armor who had just brought down this pressure on him, Ned looked the other way.
Yes, Ned ignored the Diamond-ranked creature at that mont.
His gaze was fixed on another creature, which, standing at a decent distance, was watching what was happening.
"Ho..." said the Queen, eting his gaze, and a charming smile appeared on her face. "Interesting."
The ten handso n of different races standing behind her frowned upon hearing their Queen’s words. Each of them, without exception, felt jealous and glared at Ned.
Ned couldn’t hide his joy as he looked at the Queen. He longed to test his new strength against her and understand how big the gap was between him and one of the strongest beings in this world.
He was motivated not only by the thirst for battle and his inner nature, but also by the desire to find out the Queen’s power in order to share it with his master.
As Ned understood from the scattered mories of his master, which he saw, the one who owns the information, owns the world.
Before the ignored Diamond Rank woman could move, Ned returned his gaze to her and decided to deal with this woman first, and then challenge the Queen.

"Damn it! Why now?"— Idan ntally cried out, looking at this woman. The timing was the most unfortunate of all.
His stats had been weakened by half due to their System’s unique ability.
Main Stats:
_Level – 30 - > (exchange of stats – 50%)
_Strength – 289 - > 145
_Stamina – 291 - > 146
_Dexterity – 294 - > 147
_Intelligence – 335 - > 168
_Mana –420 - > 210
_Average – 326 - > 163
Extra Stats:
_Madness Energy – 732
His stats were at the level of an average Silver rank.
"Even if I use the ’Ghost Stats’ for agility, they will only match the Platinum Rank, and I won’t stand a chance against the speed of a Diamond rank creature," Idan mused, not taking his eyes off the woman in front of him.
She seed to be in no hurry and watched with curiosity as Rizzi drank his blood, finding it interesting.
"I do not know how the unique exchange of stats ability will affect my stats if I take on the appearance of my second bloodline, Lumiar," Idan continued to ponder, looking for possible options.
However, sothing inside him told him that nothing good would co of this venture. His stats will still remain lower than he would like.
Idan didn’t want to cancel his stats right now. He understood that Arabel would not waste them, and as soon as she was done, she would imdiately return them.
He also decided not to send ssages through the Lovers’ Plate, so as not to distract her.
"Ah... She’s just adorable!" the woman suddenly exclaid, looking at Rizzy with admiration.
Idan took a step back in surprise and, without noticing it, pulled Rizzi closer to him, as if fearing that the stranger would try to take her away from him.
Noticing the guy’s reaction to her words, the woman laughed softly.
"Aren’t you the young man who caused a commotion in the city of the Forgotten Fog? "What is it?" she asked, finally taking her eyes off Rizzy and turning them to Idan.
Idan was silent.
Without waiting for an answer, the woman looked at the bright Sphere of Secret Concealnt that was spinning next to him.
"Well, you don’t have to say it, but I know it’s you," she said calmly.
"I understand your concern," the woman said, remaining calm.
"I assu you want to know how I discovered you?"
Idan nodded, unable to hide his curiosity.
"The answer is obvious: You were too conspicuous when you flew through the dark sky like a bright torch," the woman replied with a slight smile.
"Of course..." groaned Idan, realizing that he was not as lucky as he thought.
"I’ve been watching you for quite a while, until you stopped and hid with this artifact," she pointed at the Sphere. "But as a Rank 5 creature, the effect of this artifact does not apply to , and I could easily see everything that was happening inside."
This confession did not co as a big surprise to Idan. He knew that the Sphere of Secret Concealnt could not protect him from the gaze of Diamond-ranked beings.
"By the way, aren’t you heading to the western portal?" the woman asked, and Idan, as before, did not answer.
"If that’s the case, then you’re a little off course. The portal is in that direction," the woman pointed slightly to the right of the path Idan was following.
Listening to the woman’s words, Idan beca more and more confused. He did not let down his guard, fearing that she might try to distract him so that he would relax his guard.
"Phew," the woman sighed, as if admitting defeat in her attempt to get Idan to talk.
"Okay, let’s get down to business," she finally beca more serious. "Where is he?"
Idan didn’t imdiately understand who the woman was asking about.
"Where is the heir of the Dark Beast Territory?"
This ti, Idan was silent, but he wasn’t surprised.
"Let’s make a deal," the woman suggested. "Tell where the heir is, or bring him back, and I won’t block your way. On the contrary, I will share with you the information you need."
Such an unexpected suggestion caught Idan off guard.
